Substitute might have guessed this but is at a disadvantage not knowing what had been played earlier. Do you adjust? 2.

Finch Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Hand 1.Maybe I've misunderstood, but it reads as if a substitute had to come in as declarer at trick 5, then play the rest of the hand without knowing what had happened on the first four tricks? That may be a mildly interesting card game, but it sure ain't bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mink Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 1. I would have adjusted to 4S= even before I sub, this way saving time for the subsequent boards. 2. I would ask both sides who was responsible for the delay. If I come to the conclusion that one pair is responsible I would adjust in favor of the other pair. If I cannot find out, I probably adjust to 4!H-1, because I think it is more likely that the contract will not make after this start.

Finch Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Hand 2: I would expect declarer usually to go off from this point when East switches to a diamond. But it has to be the Jack of diamonds, I think, so who can say what would have happened at the table? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
